Confession

Shin's POV.

After we parted ways from Shishiro's house I decided to accompany Mio home whilst Ai went home early.

After a few minutes of walking we arrived at Mio's house. She invited me inside to have some tea and I agreed.

I entered her house and it's as beautiful as ever, I sat down and she went to the kitchen and went back with a cup of tea.

I grabbed the cup of tea and took a sip.

"So umm Shin b-back in Shishiro's house" She said shy.

I know what she was going to ask "It's okay you don't need to think about it too much" I said knowing that i can't back away and she would reject me anyways.

"I-i like you too" I was surprised by how she responded "W-we may not know each other for long but i can tell that you are a nice guy you talked to me when no other person wanted to plus you introduced me to lots of nice friends" if you think it's too soon we can take it slow" She said.

"Well as long as you are okay with me sure, I may not be the most attractive and dependable person though" I said.

"I don't mind about looks because it's not very important, looks are just aesthetic. I count personality the most and you are a very kind and dependable person. If you ask the reason why I like you, the reason is because my life changed when I met you and without me knowing it I already like you" I said.

"Well it's not like i don't like you anyway i hope you won't regret your decision" I said.

She grew a big smile on her face and rushed into my arms. I was very surprised and then accepted her with open arms.

And in that afternoon me and Mio are officially dating now, because it is starting to get dark I decided to go home.

After I said goodbye to Mio, I went home.

When I arrived at home Mom and Ai were in the kitchen making dinner.

"Shin welcome home go ahead sit down dinner will be ready soon" My mom said.

I sat down on the dining table while my mom and Ai served dinner.

We enjoyed dinner together, after that my phone vibrated signaling someone messaged.

"So how did it go?" The message was from Ai.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Hehehe my brother is not a loner anymore hahaha" She texted.

I turned my phone off and she let out a small giggle. I took the dirty plate and did the dishes because they already made me dinner so this is the only thing I can do.

After i washed the dishes i took a shower and went back to my room and went to sleep.

It is now monday and there is only 2 weeks left until exams and just like any other mondays i woke up late.

I rushed downstairs and as expected Ai already left me and went to school by herself. I ran as fast as possible towards school and barely arrived in time.

But as I walked towards my classroom i realized that i forgot to do my homework and because of that i walked into the classroom depressed.

I entered the classroom and saw Makoto and Shishiro talking to each other.

I looked around class and the situation is still unpleasant. The students are starting to take their distance with Makoto. Even some students that usually talk with Makoto from time to time are avoiding her.

I let out a sigh "So much for friends" I said to myself.

I walked towards both of them and saw Shishiro with a worried expression.

"Shishi, is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Oh Shin good morning, it's my father he rushed home when it was storming on saturday and now he is sick it explains why we don't see him on sunday he didn't get out of his room" She replied.

It is wrong but i am very happy that i don't have to turn in my homework but obviously i can't say that out loud so i just scream in happiness on the inside "A-ah i hope he gets well soon" I said.

"Thanks so much, our class today will be free. What do you think we should do?" Shishiro asked.

"Let's just go to the cafeteria or the library" Makoto said standing up.

But before we stand up a teacher enters the classroom "Alright children on your seats don't worry i won't be long i just want to give an announcement your teacher MR.Stephan ask me to" She said as the teacher walks to the center of the classroom.

"So as you all know in 2 weeks the exams are starting so Mr.Stephan decided to give you guys a mini test next week to help you all prepare for the exams so prepare yourself well and also you guys are free to do whatever you guys want today just don't make a ruckus" She said.

The teacher then left the classroom and the students jumped in happiness.

Like always most of the students immediately left the classroom "So cafeteria?" Makoto asked.

Shishiro nodded but i declined cause i want to go to the library, they both went to the cafeteria first while i went to the library.

As i expected when i entered the library i saw Mio inside trying to reach for a book.

I walked up to her as she tried to grab the book "Are there no teachers in your class right now?" I asked.

"Ah! Oh Sh-Shin it's you don't surprise me like that" She said "I'm doing a task for the students council but i got tired so i decided to take a break" She said.

"Need any help?" I ask "W-well if you can help me grab that book" She replied pointing at a book at the top of the shelf.

"Sure" I replied.

Instead of grabbing the book instead I picked her up and lifted her up high, she began to panic and got embarrassed "W-w-w-w-what are you doing?!" She said panicking "P-put me down"

"Grab the book first" I said.

She stopped panicking but I can tell she is very shy, she grabbed the book and I put her down.

"Don't do that again Shin what if someone sees?" She said worried and mad.

"Hahaha I'm sorry I can't help it" I said.

We stayed in the library for a while talking with each other "I'm sorry i have to go now bye Shin" She said.

"It's okay don't worry about it" I replied "You got a test then an exam coming soon right? Good luck, love you~" She said and left the library.

I smiled and then proceeded to go to the cafeteria.

When I entered the cafeteria in Makoto,Shishiro wasn't there. Instead, Ai was there chatting with her friend. I guess they already went back to the classroom.

Ai noticed me entering the cafeteria and parting ways with her friend and walked over to me "Hey brother i hope you have a test next week tough to be you" She said teasing.

"You'll experience it too when you are older so don't be happy just yet... Anyways what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Oh our teacher is also sick because of the storm so we have the entire day off" She said.

"Woah talk about coincidence so have you eaten if not it's my treat c'mon i'll buy you something" I said.

"Yeah thank you. I want melon bread if that's okay" She said.

I bought her a melon bread and we both sat down together while she enjoyed her bread with a bright smile on her face "Is it really that good? I mean I get it that it is delicious but I really do not get why it is so popular" I asked.

"Honestly I don't know why it is so popular too. I just like it because it is delicious and melon is my favorite fruit. I guess it's popular because it is good and many people like it" She said.

I decided to buy melon bread for myself and eat it together with her.

"Oh by the way brother i have heard a very interesting rumor recently" She said with a slight grin on her face.

"Oh really what is it?" I was curious "I heard that the student council president has a boyfriend. I wonder who that is" She replied and I nearly choked on a piece of bread.

"Where do you hear all this stuff?" I asked "I have my sources hahaha well anyway congratulations you are not single anymore hahah" She said.

"Thank you. I guess I hope you find one soon" I said trying to tease her back.

"I don't have a plan to have a boyfriend until i finish college but who knows i might change my plans" She said "Anyway let's go back to class this place is getting too crowded" She said.

We left the cafeteria and went to my classroom.

on our way there a ruckus can be heard from inside the classroom, we rushed in to see what happened and we saw Shishiro crying "What happened" I ask Makoto.

"Her mom got into a car accident just now the hospital just called she might not survive" She said and shocked all of us.
